Very---fancy...fences!

 

Fences!? (In or Out)

 

The mansion on the high-hill gave a glimpse of opulence

on a grand-scale; only a very few-locals had ever been invited.

 

I admired the estate---from afar...simply...Beautiful!

 

Surrounded by a high-fence, night lights lit the exterior;

wavy-reflections from the pool water danced on the trees.

 

The wide-entry was flanked by two massive stone-pillars,

each supporting huge metal gates activated by a number-code.

Kind of looked like the guarded main-entry at the state prison;

even had a guard-room with men on 8-hour protective-duty.

 

Splaying either side of the protective gates, a 10' iron-fence

wound its way completely around the luxurious estate-grounds.

 

I begrudge no-man his worthy-due where money is concerned;

to each to choose his-own way in his private time and space.

 

I have the same curiosity about the "Gentlemen's"-preserve

as I do about the fence at the state-prison and the asylum.

 

Is that encumbrance meant to keep me "out"---or...them "in"!?

Strong-fences make for good-neighbors!"

 

Seems to be a worthy-curiosity---Reckon-so!...I just never liked confinement!

 

"Wind"---born of liberty...knows no-bounds! Ah!---sweet,,,Freedom!

 

Amen!
